But what lisp implementation should we use?

I also think Guile is the right tool for this kind of work,
though there are several Lisp implementations on GNU,
Guile is the GNU extension language, offering pretty much what
we need for this task.

I think that using Lisp _wehever_ we can would be great.

This will make easier (in my opinion) to write applications taking
advantage of the Hurd, and in a language other than C
(which is more suitable for scripts also), fully
complaining with the GNU manifesto at the same time.

None idea so far, i guess i will have to wait until you post some code :-)
